Athletics Facilities

Indoor Athletics

The indoor athletic facilities, including a 4 lane indoor 60 meter track, sand pit, high jump, pole vault & hammer cage are designed to meet the needs of both competitions and training and are available for hire throughout the winter period excluding club training times. In the eastern region no other facilities of this type exist, which is a major attraction for athletes wanting somewhere to train and compete during the winter months.

 

Outdoor Athletics

During the summer months the Stadium stages approximately 50 athletic events ranging from local schools to International championships. Over the years we have gained a fine reputation for our excellent range of facilities and equipment, and we strive to meet the high standards from a sport, which is both highly technical and very demanding. The outdoor facilities include a new 8 lane Mondo track (as used at the Olympic Stadium), 4 long and triple jump pits, pole vault, 2 high jumps, 3 javelin run ups, 2 hammer cages & 3 shot areas. If you require any detailed information about athletics our staff have both the knowledge and experience to meet virtually all your requirements.
